Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1039

Janet fell asleep in Brandon's arms, and when she woke up, it was already morning. She opened her eyes lazily and saw Brandon standing with his back facing her.

Brandon was typing away on his phone with his slender fingers.

Numerous texts were sent back and forth, and finally, he switched off his phone and returned to bed.

Brandon wrapped his arms around Janet's petite body.

"Who were you texting? Is there an emergency in the company again?" Janet asked sleepily while rubbing her eyes. She finally understood how busy Brandon was as the head of the Larson Group, having been by his side for just a few days.

"It's Sean. He told me that the plan had just begun," Brandon said softly as he held Janet tightly and buried his head in her hair.

Janet's warm and sweet fragrance penetrated his nose, and his fingers wandered under the covers, brushing against her naked skin.

"Stop it. A nurse is coming in to take your temperature soon," Janet snorted as she held his hand and kissed his cheek.

"Do you still remember what happened last night?" Brandon flipped over effortlessly and pressed himself against her body. He then bent over and kissed her on the neck.

Janet tried to push his tight shoulders away as she said shyly, "I don't know what you're talking about." Brandon bit her smooth shoulder playfully and joked, "You'd better be careful when the nurse comes in. She'll definitely ask why you didn't open the door last night."

"You are the patient here. So, wouldn't the nurse ask you instead of me? But if she really asks me why then I'll tell her it's because you were in top condition yesterday," Janet refuted defiantly. After all, Brandon's performance last night indeed showed that he was healthy enough.

Janet slipped out of Brandon's arms. She got up and put her clothes on. She then threw the hospital gown to Brandon's face and said, "Put your clothes on. You look so tardy."

"I can't do it. My hands are too weak," Brandon pouted as he threw his hospital gown aside and looked at Janet with a goofy grin.

Janet pursed her lips and hurriedly tidied herself up before involuntarily helping Brandon with his hospital gown. Before she finished buttoning up the hospital gown, a rhythmic knock sounded on the door.

"Mr. Larson, are you up? I'm coming in to take your temperature and give you your medicine."

A hint of panic flashed through Janet's eyes. However, Brandon remained calm and said in a low voice, "Open the door. I'll get dressed by myself."

Janet was worried that the nurse might suspect something was wrong, so she hurriedly went to open the door.

The nurse came in and took Brandon's temperature professionally. She then asked blankly, "Were you not in your room last night, Mr. Larson? I couldn't record your temperature last night, which made it difficult for us to explain to the doctor."

"Oh, I'm sorry about that. If there is any trouble with the doctor, please direct him to me," Brandon said gently as he stole an affectionate glance at Janet, who was hiding behind the nurse.
